*Note*. Goose photo is for illustrative purposes only. Joel Affiliates were NOT provided with this absolutely terrifying photo, though we have reason to believe this goose may be the prototypical representation of geese for a significant portion of the sample.

# Take home messages

With the current study we examined beliefs and feelings toward Joel Le Forestier using a totally unbiased sample of 17 Joel Affiliates.   
<br>
With our flawless sampling, measurement, and design, we draw your attention to several key take-aways:   
- Joel’s amazingness and wonderfulness cannot be measured with a 6-point Likert scale, and we were fools to think it could be.    
- We suggest a new life goal for Joel over his next year of life: Master the Italian language with a flawless Sicilian accent.    
- The Joel Affiliates wish Joel happy birthday one hundred trillion, two billion, one hundred fifty million, five hundred forty eight thousand, two hundred ninety five times. If it takes one second to say *happy birthday* once, it would take nearly 3169 millennia to properly deliver on these birthday wishes. This makes sense though, because 47% of Joel Affiliates endorsed the conspiracy that Joel is actually immortal.   
- Although more people gave Joel (compared to the goose) the edge in the Joel vs. Goose showdown, 82% of Joel Affiliates needed more information about the goose to answer the question. Future research must explore what specific goose-related information might drive this decision, and also why are geese so scary?     
- Joel is a very important part of many Joel Affiliates’ lives and (much like we describe Joel), we hope his birthday is remarkable, phenomenal, and sooooooooawesome!
